The Yunsongling Ancient Trail is simple and elegant, with a mountain atmosphere intertwined with cultural heritage, as if gradually ascending into the clouds. Climbing to the observation deck on the tea mountain terraces, the vast tea mountain is breathtakingly beautiful! Today we will take a small loop route, passing Huangniuling-Yunsongling, and returning to the starting point.

Yunhu Waterfall: Step onto the tea garden observation deck and you will see a hundred acres of tea garden. Looking out into the distance, you will see a teapot about two meters in diameter hanging upside down in the air, with a stream of water spraying out of the spout, which then turns into smoke and dissipates in the air.

Shulan Bookstore: Newly opened this year, it covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. The entrance is the reception area, and the left and right sides are reading areas. It has a collection of more than 10,000 books.

Yunfu Square: The ancient ginkgo tree standing at the entrance of the village is more than 1,500 years old. The arc-shaped pavilion is graceful and agile, and the hanging blessing character carries the beautiful wish of "encountering in the land of apricots".

Yunshang Restaurant: This is a Ming and Qing Dynasty residence with a history of over a hundred years. It uses a through-beam wooden frame as its main structure. It has now been converted into a restaurant. If time permits, you can have a cup of Yunsong tea here.

Yunsong originated from an ancient road. In ancient times, this was a crucial passageway into Shaoxing Prefecture from Zhuji and Lanting. Like a modern highway, this ancient road served as a popular gateway for business, visiting friends and family, or heading up the mountains to pick tea and bamboo shoots or transport mountain goods. Pedestrians crisscrossed the area not only during the day, but even at night, lanterns and torches would illuminate the way as they crossed the mountains. A local saying goes, "During the day, the area is bustling with people, and at night, the area is ablaze with lights." Because so many people passed through, shelter from the wind and rain was needed, and pavilions and teahouses were built, eventually giving rise to the present-day Yunsong Village.
